About the Hanson Method

The Hanson Marathon Method, developed by Keith and Kevin Hanson, uses cumulative fatigue to prepare runners for the marathon distance without requiring grueling 20+ mile training runs.

The program is built around specific paces derived directly from your goal marathon time. Easy runs recover and build aerobic base, Long runs simulate late-race fatigue, Tempo runs practice marathon pace, Strength builds endurance, and Speed intervals improve running economy.

By consistently training at these specific paces, your body adapts to the physiological demands of the marathon.
